Think you got it after Jo modified it. :)

Thank you Jo that makes sense. I am use to forming circular ways for 
other relations ... but they don't contain duplicated members.
I would have formed something similar ... if I could add duplicated 
members to the relation.

And that is where my problem lies! Any time I try to add a way that is 
already part of the relation .. it does not happen.
No error message.
Chose to add at the end or begin of the listed members, or above or 
below the selected member ... not added.

So there is some setting that prevents me adding a duplicate, probably a 
very good feature that helps for most things ..
but it would be even better in this instance if it simply gave a warning 
message and  allowed a selection of options.
Perhaps in the past I have turned this setting off?

Humm Control C and V works ... so I'll use that
The present route is not absolutely correct.. but better than the 
original I had!
At least now it goes in a circular mode. Just needs an added repetition.

Ok - now it has the correct route! Phew.

I do get a warning - PT: Stop position or platform is not part of a stop 
area relation... 9 of them.

Ok .. I have some more reading to do on these 'platforms'. Want to get 
rid of that warning.
And resolve the 'bus stops' too.
